my question but bernie sanders and joe biden are two guys who could go into kentucky and talk about working class concerns but i m wondering whether you think joe biden might have an upper hand as the polls suggested in terms of who can beat donald trump. whoever can beat first in order to beat donald trump you have to win a democratic primary and you cannot win a democratic presidential primary in this country without black women. black women have and do pick the democratic nominee, i know because i worked for guy that didn t win black women and we lost the democratic primary. i also think it s too early to talk about 2020. november 6 is the midterm elections and what happens on november 6 will be a good indicator of what kind of energy is coming out of the democratic voters going into a presidential primary. there s an interesting story in the new york times of the scandal scandals. his poll numbers are higher than they ve been but still extraordinarily low.
